Spirit before he did them more damage. So with
the coming of fall they launched a massive assault against his outpost.
9 Outnumbered more than ten to one, he and his fighting people held out
for ten bitter days, until their ammunition was exhausted and their
food and water gone. Then, with twenty of his men, Gray Boar held the
